This morning I created an issue as title on a project called hawaii-terminal, thats kind of trolling, havent got any responses yet. By that, I meant getting closed without any comments.

Sadly, its the end of my grow light, the tomato was dead, the stem dried out. I sowed six green beans in it as seedling bottle and placed it outdoor. For some reason, I couldnt germinate green beans. Hopefully, they would come up.

As of the grafts, the tomato on basil seems fine, still alive that is; basil on mint is sorry-looking dead. Tomorrow, I will try again to graft onto a more thicker stem.

I saved some dill, one green and three roots, they are either purely green or root parts, not sure if the green will regrow root or roots shoot out greens. I have to say no.

Two compost container, one is mostly done, another might be half way. I will bag the finished part tomorrow. I noticed two cabbage ends grow new white stalks, I snipped them off, but I am thinking to regrow cabbage ends. I might also pot that poor orchid sitting in compost.

What else?

  • Reported another GitHub spam account.
  • Sowed five grape seeds.
  • One of two left basil flower heads after pruning has snapped, which was flowering white flowers, too bad.
  • Trying to write a script to download all my YouTube videos thumbnails, for big #1000. Currently, the number of videos is 857 (142 videos are not part of READYT), 73MB thumbnails, I am too early.
  • Thinking about drying a section of corncob. I had dried a sweetcorn cob before, but I was hoping they would pop, they didnt, of course. I wonder if I can save cron seeds this way.

The tomato under grow light was flopping, I dont think its dying, just it wasnt rooted well and I gave it give some water a couple of days ago, didnt realize that it plopped down. The stem is still rigid, all is good, I hope.

The Google Consumer Surveys responses were still showing zeros this morning, maybe the update interval is relatively long, but it should be in real-time.

Finally, I figured out how to properly install Perl modules, or so may I think.

Those unripened tomatoes really take their sweet time to turn, only a few are in orange, some in yellow, half of them still is in green. But I am confident that they will all turn red this summer.

Two small bags of mushroom needed bigger rooms, but one of them had developed green mold, itd have to go to compost after its dry. The other one was fairly covering the cardboard in white stuff and has been upgraded, bigger bag and more shredded cardboard.

I reported two spam accounts on GitHub, one is selling love spell via phone, sounds ridiculous, but its true and I actually had just reported another one just a few days ago. The other account is selling skin care product, which has seemingly computer generated text with product name and a link embedded in the text and that totally make no senses as you read the words. Curiously, if its for avoiding lower ranking in search engine results or GitHub actually has some sort of detection mechanism in place already that we dont know.

What else today:

  • The grow light doesnt seem to work, or its because the soil was dry, I just realized that, the surface felt really dry. I also swapped one LED with a red LED. I am considering to stop since the temperature is going back up.
  • Planted another onion bottom, which would be solely for greens.
  • The pruned green yardlong bean has died, the stem is soft. It might already dead, I just didnt realize.
  • One tomato truss was damaged by the cold, which is already flowering, I cut it off and stuck it with sweet potato to root. The two seedlings I thought might not survive have perked themselves up.
  • The preparation for potato growing is slow, barely half of the bag of shredded cardboard.

Ive been thinking about grow light and aquaponics, not about doing those, but why people use them to grow. I began to realize its not just about the light, the fish, or the science and technology. It might have nothing with those, only you want to see things still growing in the winter time, because without those plants, there seems to be something missing in your life.

More than ten years ago, I bought a bag of blue light LED and from what I read, its for growth red for flowering there must be around 50 LEDs. Ill be trying on a tomato plant to see if it works with just a few, it that works, I might add more LEDs for more plants.

Also, a fish and a pump, which might just air pump. I am thinking I could use styrofoam to attach a plant, so it can float on water, then put the pump pipe right below the roots, so the roots can have oxygen. Not sure if this will work, because every aquaponics seems to have a grow bed.

Ever since I turned back on Google search history, I probably visit at least once a day to delete keyword with typos. Some people delete embarrassing searches, I delete typos. Its not always as if I dont know how to spell, sometimes, my fat fingers get in the way, or interfered with Pentadactyl commands.
